Last Stent Standing

Today will be my last meeting with Dr. Datesh before my wedding. It supposed to remove the last stent with only a string attached to it. It should be done manually, no sedation and the simple procedure will be done in the clinic. Though as simple procedure as it may sound as been described by the doc, I would not take any risk to ensure the procedure is going to be smooth. For the past 6 days after the last surgery, my activities were very restricted. I did not go for a normal 1 hour walk, no outdoor activity, merely activity confined in my house preparing the wedding goody bags. As a result of it, my weight did not show any reduction as I have anticipated. The weighing scale at the clinics showed my weight was 92.45kg.
After doing the registration at the counter, I arrived at the clinic at 10.30 am, as the appointment was set at 10.45am. I have to wait for 30 minutes until it was my turn. Probably there were too many patient that the doctor had to handle that day. I was still anxious about how will the day go. Upon entering the consultation room, the nervousness recede when I saw the familiar face of the doctor.
As usual, he would ask how was my condition for that day, and quick chat and he asked me whether I was ready. I was asked to lay down at the observation bed. Not much an issue so far as I haven't seen any surgical equipment or even a nurse. When he first saw the string, he made a joke that the patch which he put was still intact. I told him that I wouldnt dare to remove the patch. He did asked me a few question in order to distract me. For the first time I was stuttering when I was replying him and with a sudden jerk he pulled the string along with the stent tied to it.Woosh...very fast and not a pain.

After the first plant which I personally planted fail to grow, all is not loss as other plants have started to bear the fruits and come out quite nice. The joy of plucking the tomatoes especially was awesome. Below are the plants which abah has planted and harvested for consumption

Wedding Preparation

The day is getting nearer. If history could be rewritten I would not change not a single moment of it. I reckon that I have been waiting for many years to end my bachelorhood but I need to end in a graceful manner. If this is the chapter of WW2 history,it will be the day when the Allies preparing for D Day.What, describing the most awaited moment of my love life like a war story. But that was the reality. 1 month before the wedding started, I have gone through a quite rough patches of the journey after undergoing three major surgeries removing kidney stones from both of my kidneys. Luckily it went ok, considering many issues that I have to handle it myself related to insurance, and travelling back and forth KL to Miri on wedding preparation. It is a matter of a racing against the time since the preparation of it can only be done when I am in KL.
